185 PointsRuby Objectives not working. Please help.
The forum answers I've found state that this should work. I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can't get the name variable to work either. Thanks for the help!
Error is:
Bummer! The variable 'status' doesn't exist in your code.
My code:
name = "christy"
status = "I'm on the internet."

Thanks for the update Scott!

7,242 PointsHey Christy,
I don't have a solution for you, but I was able to recreate your issue. I also went to "Create a Variable: Part 1" and discovered that that code challenge is also not working.
It seems like the text editor is not recognizing the Ruby variable syntax. When I click the "Preview" button after submitting the code, the text editor is accepting the value of the status, but not accepting that status is the variable.
Hopefully this issue is resolved soon.

185 PointsThank you Garrett! It's nice to know that you could recreate the issue, and that it isn't with my code.
Hopefully it will be fixed soon, and I'll keep forging ahead.
Thanks!
